Get Ready (Part 6)

Matthew 21:1-11

Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026

Jesus rides into Jerusalem—his so-called "triumphal entry"—on a donkey. This little bit of performance art is not only an intentional embodiment of a well-known prophecy (Zech. 9:9); it is also clear demonstration that he has not come to conquer or rule like a human king. It seems that people get the first part (prophetic fulfillment) but fail to grasp the second (a different kind of kingdom). The problem for them—and for us—lies in our willingness (not our ability) to see Jesus for who he is, and then to follow him.
